[Year 12 IT Apps] Full sentences versus dot points

[Robert Hind]

Sorry folks,

Wrong "there"

Should read:

I have marked IT since 2005 and also Physics in 2010.

Dot points make marking a lot easier, the marker does not have to search
through the "waffle" to find the points required to get the marks.

Helps even more with esl students who can then make their points succinctly.

>> Hi Guys,

>> Just out of curiosity, what do you all tell your kids about writing
>> answers in dot point format in the exam? I've never read anything in my

>> as a preference, when marking I actually find it easier to mark work that
>> has been dot pointed. Is there a particular stem that requires no dot
>> points? Opinions??
